Okay, so this time I only got three reviews for this chapter. I also want
to apologize for taking this long to update. I'm sorry. I've just been so
swamped with school and everything. Today I decided to update because I'm
happy because my grade just won our school wide field trip. We get to miss
a day of school. So I hope that you like this chapter. Thanks to my three
reviewers.

Now on with the story, tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: Too tired of this, see previous chapters.
The Cloud's Silver Lining:
Lily was hoping that that somebody would be Meghan or Bella. She scanned the entire common room, but they weren't in there. There was only one person in the room, "Sirius!! I need to talk to you!" cried Lily.
"Lily, what's wrong?"
"Absolutely everything, you see I have this thing that I can't tell anyone. Erin just had to find out, so she used this truth potion to find out what it was. I didn't want her or anyone else to know. She has no idea how much danger she's in now," she said slowly in-between sobs.
"Lily, relax sweetie. Is there anything I can do?"
"I doubt it, sniff, I just needed somebody to talk to."
"Well you can always come to me, I'm here for you."
"Thanks Sirius, I really needed that."
"No problem," Sirius gazed down at Lily. She looked so pretty even if she had been just crying. Sirius did the first thing that came into his mind; he bent down and kissed her. She reacted a little surprised by this, but responded to the kiss. About a half-hour later she fell asleep in his lap. "I'll always be here for you Lily."

Lily woke up confused as to where she was. She looked around and found herself in a room that somewhat looked like her dorm, except it was a lot messier. Suddenly, she remembered all of the previous night's events and smiled to herself. She saw Sirius and quickly ran up to him and gave him a quick peck on his cheek. "Thanks! Thanks for everything," she smiled.
He smiled back, "Hey Lily, can I ask you something?"
"Well you already have, but you can ask me another question."
Sirius smirked, "Well Lily, I was wondering if you would go out with me?"
"Umm...I'm so sorry...but I'm going to have to say...yes."
"Really?!?!"
"No, I'm kidding. Of course really." Sirius gave her a quick kiss and they ran downstairs to tell all of their friends. As they told their friends, Lily purposely avoided Erin. It looked as if she had told everyone her secret. She couldn't tell for sure, and nobody brought it up. "Everyone, we have some news," she paused. "Sirius and I are now going out." One friend looked sad, one face looked blank, two friends' happy faces were fake, and only two were truly happy. Erin's face visibly showed sadness because of the previous night's events. James and Remus both secretly had crushes on Lily, but they weren't about to tell anyone or let it show. James was obviously more in love, and his fake smile was less bright than Remus'. Megan and Bella were truly happy for the pair. That left only one person, so the blank face should be able to be figured out.
Lily was too happy to notice the fakeness and the sadness, when she normally would have. Lily finally had a boyfriend, and not just any boyfriend. He was one of the three most popular boys in school. Lily was actually more than happy, she was ecstatic. She didn't notice a thing. Life for Lily Evans was good.

James was distraught. Lily, the girl he had liked all year, was going out with his best friend. "It's just not fair!" he screamed to himself. "I'm the Gryffindor she should be spending half the year with, not Sirius. I'm the one who loves her, not Sirius. Sirius is going to dump her in two weeks. I wouldn't do that. I love her." He threw a pillow across the room as Remus walked in.
"Hey James, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment."
"Sure, whatever."
"I've noticed you've been acting really depressed lately. Like when you found out Lily and Sirius were going out, I could see right through that smile, and just now with the pillow."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Prongs, I'm your best friend. You could tell me anything."
"Okay Moony, but you have to promise not to tell anyone."
"All right, if you tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone else."
James gave a slight smile, "Well...I like Lily."
"So do a lot of guys."
"No, I mean more than that."
"Oh."
"Yeah. Remus come with me." James led Remus to look at the common room. There was Lily and Sirius sitting on the couch cuddling and snogging. "They look so happy; I just wish that was me there instead of Sirius."
"Yeah, I know how you feel."
"Really. Well Mr. Remus, who do you have a crush on?"
"Nobody! What are you talking about?" Remus said this with an obvious tone that he was lying.
"I told you, now you tell me."
"Samantha Cunningham," Remus said this with a similar tone, but James took no notice having got an answer.

Nobody realized, but after Lily had given the news, Peter mysteriously disappeared. He had to go find Severus Snape. "Oi, Severus, I have some news for the dark lord."
"Then why don't you tell him yourself?" Even if Peter was an unofficial deatheater, Snape still didn't like the blubbering fool.
"Because, I can't get away with it. I am a Gryffindor."
"Oh yeah, so what do you want me to tell him?"
"Lily has a boyfriend, and you'll never guess who it is." Peter kept going at Snape's blank look. "It's Sirius."
"Ooh, what do you expect me to do with this information?"
"Nothing, I expect you to do something with the information about what got them together."
"Which is?"
"One of her nosy friends, Erin, found out about her secret. She can't know. We don't know what she could do with this information."
"Are you implying?" Snape used his finger to show the sign of slitting his throat.
"You better believe it."
"I'll tell the dark lord and Lucius."
%%%%%%%%%%
At that moment, Lily was on the couch in a deep conversation was Sirius (A/N: That is quite a feat for him. Jk.). Lily jut responded to something Sirius said when she jumped slightly at seeing Erin. "Hey Lily, do you think I could talk to you for a moment?"
"Well, I'm kind of doing something..."
"No, it's okay," cut in Sirius, "You two need to make up." With that he got up and walked away.
"Fine, but I'm not having anything to drink."
"Lily, I am so sorry. I never knew your most serious secret was that serious. If I did, I never would have given you that truth potion."
"It doesn't matter what the secret was. It could have just been the fact that my house was blue and I hated it, which is true too. The point is, you used a truth potion so I would tell you. Then you told the rest of the group."
"Lily I told you I was so...wait. I never told the rest of the group anything. I just told them that you were mad at me."
"Then how come they have been giving me looks for so long that clearly said they knew what happened?"
"Because they knew that you were mad at me."
"Oh," Lily replied quietly.
"Please, will you just listen to me when I say I'm sorry?"
"You know what, I will forgive you. I don't know why though. I guess I just can't not accept an apology. You do know we won't be as close as before though."
"I don't care Lily. As long as I'm forgiven, but Lily..." Erin never finished her sentence because at that moment a prefect stood up on a nearby table. He said he had an important announcement.
"As everyone knows, we have just entered the month of October. This year, the prefects have decided that we will have a Halloween ball. It will be a costume party. It is for fourth years and up, we ask that everyone attends and dresses up as well. Thank you." the prefect sat down.

So what do you think? Is it good or bad? I'm happy that I finally revealed Peter's true colors. They should be green and silver, not red and gold. I hope you like it. R/R
